Shocking: Trump is holding secret talks - with two "accomplices" he is preparing chaos
Four high-ranking associates of the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, held secret talks with the leading political opponents of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the Brussels Politico reported.
According to Ukrainian parliamentarians and an American Republican expert on foreign policy, Trump's allies spoke with the leader of the opposition and former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko, as well as with high-ranking members of the party of former president Petro Poroshenko.
A key topic of discussion was the possibility of holding early presidential elections in Ukraine, despite the fact that the elections are currently suspended due to the state of war.
Critics warn that elections in those circumstances could cause "chaos" and benefit Russia, considering that millions of potential voters are at the front or have fled.
Trump's associates believe that Zelensky would lose the election due to public dissatisfaction with corruption and war fatigue.
Although his popularity has declined in recent years, the latest polls show him still leading the presidential race.
A recent opinion poll showed that Zelensky has 44 percent of support, while his closest rival, former army commander and current ambassador to Great Britain Valery Zaluzhny, is trailing by more than 20 percent.
Poroshenko has 10 percent of support, and Tymoshenko 5.7.
Although Tymoshenko and Poroshenko are publicly against elections before the end of the war, sources claim that through informal channels they are positioning themselves as politicians who would be more willing to cooperate with the Trump administration.
The official responses of their parties avoided directly confirming the talks with US officials, but emphasized the importance of post-war free elections and the establishment of lasting peace.
Zelensky rejects the possibility of withdrawing, with the assessment that he would win the elections if they were held.
However, analysts warn that the political scene in Ukraine is changing rapidly, and relations with Washington are becoming a key factor in the country's future.
